About the book:

In the third installment in the Horses and
Friends series, thirteen-year-old Kate Ferris already has one problem. Snooty,
well-to-do Melissa is boarding her horse at Kate’s family stable. When Melissa
suddenly turns nice, Kate is shocked … and suspicious.

The last thing
she needs is more trouble. So when a hooded rider appears – and then disappears
– on a stunning black horse outside her home, Kate isn’t sure if Melissa is
playing a trick or something more dangerous is going on. Either way, Kate and
her friends will need an extra measure of faith and courage to solve this
mystery.

My review:

Another wonderful
story for horse lovers!

The is part of a “true”
series in that it should be read in order to receive the most enjoyment from
it.

It was wonderful
visiting with Kate, Tori, and Colt again. I really enjoyed seeing how they are
all growing and maturing as this series progresses. They have been friends for
awhile now but in this story they are trying to figure out how to work things
out as they try to add one more person to the group. Not just any person this
time but the one who has caused them the most grief in the past.

I thoroughly
enjoyed getting to know Melissa and slowly learning about her life and what has
caused her to change in how she treats Kate and her friends. It was wonderful
to see Kate trying to reach out to Melissa and share her belief in God at the
same time.

These are all
such realistic thirteen year olds. They are struggling with trying to figure
out how to make wise and proper choices. They are also working on learning the
balance of when they can make their own decision and when they need to seek the
counsel and advice of their parents. It is a tough balancing act for any young
teenager and this book does a marvelous job of telling it.

I
have been thoroughly enjoying this entire series. I highly recommend this book
and I have to give it a rating of 5 stars.
